Denis Chang DVD Jazz Manouche: Technique & Improvisation Volume 3

In developing this 4 volume series, instructor Denis Chang’s intention was to help the student gain insight into both the technical and conceptual components of Jazz Manouche improvisation. Denis wanted the series to be comprehensive in both scope and detail and to provide years of instruction and exercises for the serious student of guitar.

Denis has structured the 4 volumes in a sequential fashion. Each successive DVD builds on the material and concepts that Denis covered in the previous DVD(s).

To obtain maximum benefit it is strongly advised that you follow Denis' curriculum, sequentially, as Denis intended.

In “Jazz Manouche Technique & Improvisation
